G'day

I've been having a lot of success today, backing the favourite and even the quinella (box top 3 horses) today..

So just wondering if someone could reply back with the stats for the following conditions:

Race has no more than 6 runners, short priced favourite has won or placed (since small field 1st or 2nd).

Would be interesting to see what the strike rate is for the SP fav in such a small field..

Thanks

All the stats for this can be found by Google "Flat Stats" then go to LHS of page sub title "Race Stats" one can tailor the search to exactly what you want.

Cheers.

thanks, but thats for uk racing...

Pengo, I haven't the stats anymore, but I did do extensive research a few years ago, always frustratingly when the S/R increased due to filters the SP decreased in proportion, so same story. loss of about 10% on turnover. Amazingingly the closest to break even was backing odds on chances only.
Another thing was that there was virtually no difference (over time) in S/R no matter what the class of race, and again where there was; the SP decreased in proportion. Also virtually no difference in LOT (over time) between the actual fav or the pre-post fav.

just an observation that i am sure many share is that fields of 6 or < often are not run at a true pace & with upsets not uncommon

& many a time im sure ive seen the jocks having a bit of a chat as they dawdle down the back straight...(probably auctioning off the result)

Heres another one- How many maidens who win, go on to win their next race
